An agreement of purchase and sale is the agreement between the buyer and seller to purchase property.

A construction lien is a claim that is placed on commercial (or residential) property by a contractor or subcontractor when the owner of the property does not satisfy payment of an invoice for work done to the property. A construction lien is burdensome as it makes it almost impossible to sell or refinance the property.

Occasionally the person who operates the business will also be the owner of the commercial property. More often than not, the building is owned by a commercial landlord and rented to a tenant.
